I would also like to thank you for this great article and org-mode in
general. I learned a few things about variables and chaining that I did not
know about. Since I discovered org-mode, I have come to rely upon it as my
extended memory for professional as well as domestic ideas and problems
that I encounter. I keep one big notes.org file in which my first level
headlines is the current date, and my second order headline usually
contains a "Done/Todo" which is a checklist of things that I have to do. I
also love the embedded code (though I wish it was possible to syntax
highlight it!), external links, and tables.

Thanks again!
Dov
